WATER-CONDUCTOR FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,158, dated September \14, 1886.*

Application filed February 11, 1886. Serial No. 191.546.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ZACHARY T. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful In1- provenient in W-aterGonductor vFastenings, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specitication and accompanying drawings, in`which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a water-conductor fastening embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a top or plan view thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

My invention consists of a device for fasttening a water-conductor to a wall, so constructed that it is adjustable in relation to the joints of said wall, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a plate, which is formed of a perforated stem, a, and branches b b,- and B represents a spike whose head is bifurcated to receive the stem a of the plate A and perforated for the passage of a nail or pin, G, which is also passed through one of the perforations of the stem a, it being noticed that the perforations of said stem extend in the perpendicular direction of the same.

rI'he spike is driven into the joint of a brick or stone wall, the branches b of the plate A are secured to the conductor or spout in near relation to the position of said pin, and the conductor is properly set up. The nail C is (No model.)

then inserted into the openings of thehead of the pin and the coincident openingin the stem a of the plate, and bent over the side of the head, and thus the plate A is connected with the spike, the conductor being thereby' reliably fastened and sustained. l

The plate A is constructed of sheet metal bent to form the stem a, the lengths of which are placed side to side, the ends then being turned outwardly, producing the wings or branches b. By this construction the plate is strong, durable, light, and inexpensive.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, andv desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a water-conductcr fastening, a plate having the stem and branch, the stein having a vertical series of openings, and the branches attachable to a conductor, in combination with a spike having a bifnrcated head with transverse openings therein, and a pin adapted to secure said spike and plate by passing through said openings in the head and plate, substantially as described.

2. In a water-conductor, asheet-metal plate bent so as to forni a stern of double thickness, and side branches, the stem having Vertical openings, in combination with a spike, B, having a bifnrcated head with openings, and the pin C, all substantially as described.
